Nothing cool about someone spending days trying to discredit someone with lies.
Setting up thread after thread to do so.
Hard to respond to neurotic bullying like that.
Not the Celtic way imho.
Ok lass, I'm very fond of you and you might not necessarily like what I'm about to write, but believe me when I say that it's with your wellbeing in mind.
There are things that happened within this environment that had no business taking place. These were things that had a serious consequential effect upon people's lives and that was never the intended purpose of this site.
Folk will naturally develop relationships through common features and interests and it is natural that they may cultivate those relationships, but only to a limited degree.....
There were relationships that developed which progressed beyond the digital world and they had a devastating effect on a number of people, you yourself being one of them.
It's not my job to be judge and jury, but blame lies on all fronts and should be apportioned appropriately. No one came out of that debacle with clean hands and I take my own responsibility for not seeing the warning signs long before the issue reached critical mass.
This next line goes out to quite a few regulars here........if you open the door to the devil, don't be surprised if he walks right in.
Caroline Flack (among many others) showed what an insane place that the digital space can be. Once you combine that with the corporeal world, then you have a recipe for disaster.
Folk are still raw, frustrated and angry about what happened previously. I don't blame them for that, but I hope they can perhaps rationalise and process things with a bit more assurance from here on in.
I'm happy that you appear to be recovering well, but other folk are still also recovering in the aftermath and you have to give them a bit of leeway to come to terms with the current situation.
I'm not going to play the blame game, there were a few of you who needed your heads cracking together and I hope you all learned something.
You have my best wishes and I hope things are working out, but try and avoid those things in life which are outwith your control. Even if it's only a thread on a website. I wouldn't expect a recovering heroin addict to find solace in a shooting gallery.........it would be in their best interests to circumnavigate those places that may prove detrimental to their recovery.
